eMO ticket registration process modified in HDMS

On the basis of experience gained from the Help Desk Management System (HDMS), the problems in e-MO are broadly categorised into six categories.

Not transmitted

Not received

Not paid

Not redirected

Not returned

Others

The Centre for Excellence in Postal Technology (CEPT) is planning to improve the ticket raising process for quite some time. CEPT propose to provide basic trouble shooting tips for the ticket raisers. These trouble shooting tips help resolving many issues locally. The process will thus help in settling all common problems which will ultimately enable the Post offices to provide better and un interrupted services to Citizens. Thus, CEPT believe that this process will provide India Post an opportunity to provide better customer satisfaction.

Accordingly, as a first step, the ticket raising process has been modified for e-MO. As mentioned above, the problems in e-MO handling are broadly categorized into 6 types. In each category, few problem situations are given in the shape of questions. For each situation, troubleshooting tips to overcome the difficulty were given. However, the list is not exhaustive. CEPT will make efforts to make it more exhaustive in future.

The ticket raiser has to answer each question. The questions are given in bold characters against which the ticket raiser has to place a tick mark in token of having done the check.

Below each question, knowledge base is provided (instructions are given) regarding the action to be taken if the answer to the questions is negative.

Ex: A person intend to raise a ticket about Non-transmission of e-MOs.

Then he need to answer the first question as mentioned below:

Whether your office is appearing in the list of registered offices?

Instructions are provided below, where the ticket raiser can find out whether the office is appearing in the list of registered offices or not.

Further if the office is not appearing in the list of registered offices, the procedure for registering the office is also furnished there in.

Therefore, before raising a ticket, the ticket raiser should invariably ensure that the office is appearing in the list of registered offices.

As narrated in the example, the ticket raiser should invariably take necessary action as per the instructions given therein against each question.

After completing all the checks, the ticket raiser has to give a declaration in token of having done all the checks. After submitting the declaration, the software will allow the ticket raiser to raise ticket.

CEPT will analyse every ticket to see whether the ticket raiser had actually carried out all checks before raising the ticket and bring it to the notice of their controlling authority.

Suggestions and feedback, if any to improve the software may be given under feedback section. Only those who raised a ticket in HDMS will be able to furnish feedback.

In the above mentioned categories declaration is also added to take precaution measure before going to raise the ticket with CEPT through HDMS.

MS Office : Set Tab Stops / Clear them

Microsoft Windows : Microsoft Office 2003/ 2007/ 2010 /2013.

Set tab stops

Note You can also use the document layout options in Word to set up your document. For example, you can easily create a table of contents or an index without setting a single tab stop. You can also use the predesigned table and header and footer options. In addition, Word provides predesigned cover pages and various page-layout options to make document setup easier.

Set tab stops by using the ruler

1.Click the tab selector at the left end of the ruler until it displays the type of tab that you want.

Notes If you don't see the horizontal ruler that runs along the top of the document, click the View Ruler button at the top of the vertical scroll bar.

View Ruler button

2.Click the ruler where you want to set the tab stop.

Tab stops on the ruler

Tab image

A Left Tab stop sets the start position of text that will then run to the right as you type.

Center Tab button

A Center Tab stop sets the position of the middle of the text. The text centers on this position as you type.

Tab image

A Right Tab stop sets the right end of the text. As you type, the text moves to the left.

Tab image

A Decimal Tab stop aligns numbers around a decimal point. Independent of the number of digits, the decimal point will be in the same position. (You can align numbers around a decimal character only; you cannot use the decimal tab to align numbers around a different character, such as a hyphen or an ampersand symbol.)

Bar Tab button

A Bar Tab stop doesn't position text. It inserts a vertical bar at the tab position.

Notes about using the horizontal ruler to set tab stops

·By default, there are no tab stops on the ruler when you open a new blank document.

·The final two options on the tab selector are actually for indents. You can click these and then click the ruler to position the indents, rather than sliding the indent markers along the ruler. Click First Line Indent Button image, and then click the upper half of the horizontal ruler where you want the first line of a paragraph to begin. Click Hanging Indent Button image, and then click the lower half of the horizontal ruler where you want the second and all following lines of a paragraph to begin.

·When you set a bar tab stop, a vertical bar line appears where you set the tab stop (you don't need to press the TAB key). A bar tab is similar to strikethrough formatting, but it runs vertically through your paragraph at the location of the bar tab stop. Like other types of tabs, you can set a bar tab stop before or after you type the text of your paragraph.

·You can remove a tab stop by dragging it (up or down) off the ruler. When you release the mouse button, the tab stop disappears.

·You can also drag existing tab stops left or right along the ruler to a different position.

·When multiple paragraphs are selected, only the tabs from the first paragraph show on the ruler.

Set tab stops by using the Tabs dialog box

If you want your tab stops at precise positions that you can't get by clicking the ruler, or if you want to insert a specific character (leader) before the tab, you can use the Tabs dialog box.

When you press ENTER to start a new line, the formatted tab stop is available on the new line.

Tip If you want to use tab stops and dot leaders to format a table of contents, consider using Word to create a table of contents automatically.

Change the spacing between the default tab stops

If you set manual tab stops, the default tab stops are interrupted by the manual tab stops that you set. Manual tab stops that are set on the ruler override the default tab stop settings.

1.On the Page Layout tab, click the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher.

Paragraph group on the Page Layout tab

2.In the Paragraph dialog box, click Tabs.

3.In the Default tab stops box, enter the amount of spacing that you want between the default tab stops.

When you press the TAB key, your tab will stop across the page at the distance that you specified.

Clear tab stop spacing

If you added manual tab stops, you can clear the spacing for one tab stop or for all manual tab stops. After you clear the spacing, the tab stop characters move to default locations.

1.On the Page Layout tab, click the Paragraph Dialog Box Launcher.

Paragraph group on the Page Layout tab

2.In the Paragraph dialog box, click Tabs.

3.In the list under Tab stop position, click the tab stop position that you want to clear, and then click Clear.

Tip To remove the spacing from all manual tab stops, click Clear All.

4.Repeat step 3 for each tab stop position that you want to clear.

5.Click OK.

The tab stop characters are not removed. To remove them, you need to delete them manually or run find and replace, with ^t in the Find what box and an empty Replace with box. To open the Find and Replace dialog box, on Home tab, in the Editing group, click Replace.

The 7th Pay Commission is likely to raise the salaries of government employees by up to 40 per cent, said Neelkanth Mishra, India equity strategist of Credit Suisse. The Pay Commission will submit its recommendations in October and it will be implemented by next year.

"As the Pay Commission numbers come through there could be a 30-40 per cent increase for each individual. It won't be as big as last time because it was driven by a lot of arrears but definitely a large number of government employees will come into the pay bracket which can afford to have, for example, four-wheelers," he said in an interview with NDTV. (Watch the full interview)

Credit Suisse says about one-third of India's middle class is employed by the government and as the 7th Pay Commission comes through, there will be an improvement in discretionary spending.

"In Tier 3, Tier 4 towns where government employees are 50-60 per cent of the middle class, it is very likely that real estate markets will take off again," Mr Mishra said.

Once the Pay Commission submits its recommendations in October, it will take 3-6 months for the Centre and the states to announce its implementation, Credit Suisse said.

Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh have already indicated that they are going to implement the 7th Pay Commission recommendations from January 1, 2016, he said.

As clarity emerges on the 7th Pay Commission, consumption will see an uptick and that could act as a stimulus to the economy, the brokerage said.

However, Mr Mishra struck a note of caution. "Clearly if you see a third or 35 per cent of your middle class getting a 40 per cent or 30 per cent jump in compensation in one shot, the fears of inflation will rise." Expectations of rate cuts can get pushed out and some possible fiscal pressures can emerge, he warned.
